When will people wake up and realise that he is absolute garbage?
He's not the best player in the world, but he's arguably the best right back England have.Quote:

This is a Sport section. This thread is aimed at Glen Johnson, the rightback who plays for Liverpool and England.Quote:

Please vacate the Sports Section.Quote:

He wasn't that bad. What might be good for England and him is if we play Walcott and AJ on the wings and switch them so Walcott is left and vice versa. That way Johnson can overlap.Quote:

Yeah hardly seen him in that game, maybe that's just me being blind though.
Did interest me though, the fact everyone in the team was playing in the positions they play for in their clubs, I think that might've made a massive difference. (Yeah I got that off the commentary, I'm not that good a footy fan) But yeah well played from England, I turned it off on the last 10 minutes because my mum was moaning, and I checked the score afterwards to see 4-0, not surprised Defoe got his hat-trick, plays like a beast.
There are better peeps in England who can play his position though. He did play alright for England in the world cup though, I mean not amazing but he was not terrible by any means.
Like who?Quote:

I just hope Richards progresses. He has all the tools to be a good player, but needs to work on the mental side of things.
Emile Heskey. He retired though. BIG LOSS!Quote:

If only Richards kept developing like he did, now he won't have a chance at City.
Why are people dissing him?
He's fine..
Luke Young is a better defender than him, but I think he retired form international football :S
Richards isn't like Johnson. If you're looking for someone whose calm on the ball and can pass then you want Johnson, if you want someone who can stand off a man and hug them then you want Richards.
he's not that bad and he'll learn. The alternative is Carra or Brown who are both getting on, so i'd rather have Johnson and train him up for the long term rather than leave him behind and play the old guard which really doesn't make Glen better or have a positive impact on the team. Brown is also always injured :-)
Also a shame Gazza retired.
Yeah I know he isn't, but Richards has all the tools to be a good player but he needs to work on a lot of his game. He needed to move away from City and play every game but he can't do that now which is a shame.Quote:

Johnson can't defend and yet he's a defender. Defenders need to be able to defend believe it or not.
I said it throughout the world cup and I will say it yet again! Johnson, Lennon and Walcott's most important and deadly aspect to their game (imo) is their pace. If they want to utilise it effectively they need to be fed the ball early by the RB. At the world cup whoever was playing on the right hand side of midfield would be standing in acres of space screaming for the ball but Johnson's priority seems to be running as far as he can with it (as the space the winger in front of him has diminishes). If Johnson plays the person on the right gets forced inside because he goes too far with the ball which pretty much cancels out and reduces the opportunity for wingers to beat and run at defenders.Quote:

I agree, but it doesn't make him a terrible player like people are saying. He just needs to adapt and learn.Quote:

He'd be a good winger. He is a ****e defender.
